''PHOENIX — Phoenix police have recently arrested a suspect in the 1998 murder of 28-year-old Sarah Carr.
The victim, a mother of six children, was shot to death at a home near 14th Street and McDowell Road on July 9, 1998. Her murder has remained unsolved for the past 26 years''.

'Miller and his siblings faced obstacles throughout their lives growing up without Carr.
Ultimately, Miller was called to service. He became an Austin Police Officer in 2020.
It gave him a new and unique perspective on his own mother's case which had gone cold.'

''A suspect was not identified until 2016 when new technology helped investigators submit charges against Javier Lorenzano-Nunez, who was extradited to Phoenix earlier this month and booked into jail on a homicide warrant.''

''They asked me for a pair of my handcuffs, and I don't think they realized I had a special pair that I had been saving for the occasion," Miller said.
Miller was gifted an engraved pair of handcuffs by a mentor and former coach when he became a police officer. He always hoped he would get to use them on the man who took his mother's life. Phoenix PD did just that.
“I had written my mom's name on them in Sharpie, too, so it said Sarah Carr on them," Miller said.''
